For the majority of concealed carriers out there, the forty-five caliber is relegated to some antiquated round that’s slow and heavy. If you know anything about ballistics, you know that you can get far more out of a .40 S&W or 9mm (+P JHP). But that’s the new generation of ballistics. For police officers, though,…
